So, I been having issues with stability lately -- been up one day, down the next....with most days in the down category. (right now I am definitely up).

I have been a number of different meds in that last year, currently on Wellbutrin XR, and Gabapentin 900mgs 3x a day.

I recently (month ago) went off Zoloft cuz it completely killed my sex drive...like it just didn't exist. It was like I was perfectly fine without sex at all...didn't even cross my mind...crazy cuz normally I a pretty sexual person, as my wife can attest to.

Before that I was experimenting with Abilify but it made me completely manic....like totally full blown manic, not my normal hypo.

Prior to that I had a very bad week on Geodon -- nightmare.

So I have been struggling with meds merry-go-round. Funnily I read about people going through this when I first joined this thread thinking -- that won't be me, I am not that bad...then I came to realize, wait -- I maybe high functioning at work, but in my personal life I am the most definitely very unstable from day to day, hour to hour.

So, I guess the point is, if Gaba and Wellbutrin and the others I have mentioned aren't working quiet right? What other meds have people found effective for mid-level type 2 bipolar?

Outta curiosity.
